Shui 225 Posted February 7, 2019 Like it would matter if cheats or overlay. Its a 3rd party program which gives you an advantage. So ban him for being a pathetic scrub. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So ban him for being a pathetic scrub. good meme, both this dumb patootie post and your title of "threat level diamond". as long as it doesn't modify the game files, it is allowed. (so shader crosshairs are not.) sorry to bust the bubbles of all the retards in this thread. ask mattscott/selali in discord or a GM ingame. you guys dolts or adults, get real man. one of you deserves to sleep in a twin bed for the rest of your life. also, OP, sorry, but you don't have the knowledge or the skill level to know if someone is streaming with cheats, especially considering what you posted isn't even related to cheats. If you think someone is cheating, how about you stop being s'fuzzy bunny and hit the report button on twitch and report them ingame. and hey everyone, i'm a bad person. sorry if i hurt your feelings but dumb posts like these exhaust me mentally.

Well somewhat, from what I can gather the files used to remove fog are not traditional shader files that require you to use Bloom to see an effect so it is more comparable to something like the removal of muzzle flash. (Files used are "Common" "Definitions" "HeightFogPixelShader") As for the process it really just is a replacement of files in the shaders folder including a small text file that basically allows you to enable/disable the fog without having to replace files over and over. Real shaders that require you to enable Bloom in-game work through different files, namely "APBUberPostProcessBlendPixelShader" and "OutlinePixelShader". These can be tweaked in a ton of ways while the no fog "shader" can basically only do one and that is removing the fog which gives no advantage whatsoever other than the 10~15 you gain from removing said fog.

Later after someone pointing it out on his stream about it , he turned it off like a good lad. So I am still on the assumption that it was just not just a cross hair overlay. Sorry.

But that fits in with how an overlay works... F5 to show/hide overlay like with PlayClaw for instance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its to make things easier to shoot and is against the TOS. Plain and simple its cheating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cr0 328 Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) You've always been able to edit any shaders, ini files etc with no risk of any ban and that has never changed. The reason for this is obvious. In 3.5 update, as I interpret it, all of the stuff they won't allow people editing anymore will simply be compiled with the game and wont be editable in any ini files and such.

I'm in awe of your pair. I never even used one of them because they don't matter. You are being so whiney about them though. Do you need some confirmation or smth? Oh and while we're at it: The way APB was meant to be played is on hardware from 2012. Grow a pair and get your first gen i5 out and play sub 30fps on a fhd screen.
